Thank you, Victoria. Sometimes that perseverance "muscle" (love that visual!) gets stretched, pulled or cramped, but that makes me step back and take stock of what I'm doing—or not doing.

I have three autoimmune diseases and was once, for the better part of fifteen years, the volunteer, non-clinical facilitator for a support group for one of the diseases. And, I explained perseverance to members and guests. Get out of bed, do something, take a shower, etc... because, with a disease, it's so easy to wallow in the mire of pain, symptoms, lack of compassion and understanding from others, and I can't.

So there's no reason I can't apply this to other aspects of my life, right?

Great essay, and it came at a perfect time for me. The old saying is that it doesn't matter how often you are knocked down, as long as you get up one more time. Hey, if this was easy, everybody would do it. Thanks again!

As I read, I kept thinking that this is exactly what writers need to do. Let's hear it for the perseverance muscle!

I already feel like that. I just needed a kick in the pants, is all.
